How AI works in
Checkr's platform
Enhancing hiring efficiency for safe and fair decisions
AI powers every Checkr report
58% of HR leaders use AI in recruiting and hiring, but the background check industry hasn't kept up. Legacy screening providers are still doing manual work behind a thin veneer of software.
Checkr is different. AI is infused into our platform—and has been since day one. The following Checkr AI capabilities bring you the most accurate reports in a fraction of the time.
Charge classifier instantly makes sense of messy data
In their original form, criminal charges appear in legal language that can be hard to decipher. Worse, the same charge can be written in very different ways across counties and states.
- Checkr AI instantly classifies the type of charge and its disposition.
- This classification sets the stage for Checkr Assess to filter charges based on your custom rulesets, consistently applying your policies and reducing your adjudication work.
Name matcher ties the right records to the right candidates
A candidate’s name can appear in many different ways in court records: Jen Smith, Jennifer Smith, Jen A Smith, or even Jen Frazier, her maiden name. Which one is your candidate?
- Checkr AI identifies which names belong to your candidate, Jen Smith, and which refer to someone else.
- Our aliases product then unearths records for every name variant associated with your candidate.
Report ETA keeps you informed on report timing
It took you just a few seconds in the Checkr dashboard to order a background check. But your candidate is fielding multiple offers, and you’re wondering when the report will arrive.
- Checkr AI shows a dynamically-updating ETA for your background check report, based on data from over 35 million checks run on our platform per year.
- Your candidates can also view the ETA, bringing them peace of mind and reducing inbound background check status questions to your team by up to 71%.
Achieve breakthroughs in your hiring process with Checkr AI
Shorten your time to hire, reduce your team's adjudication workload, and gain new confidence in your hiring compliance.
Charge explainer puts helpful descriptions at your fingertips
Even the most experienced adjudicators encounter charges that are less familiar to them. Searching for information on a charge and its jurisdictional context can be a cumbersome process.
- When viewing a report, click the AI icon next to any charge. Checkr AI generates a helpful overview of the charge, its severity, and relevant statutes in its jurisdiction.
- For criminal charges and driving violations, you can instantly get actionable context to inform your adjudication decisions, all within the Checkr dashboard.
Role matcher intelligently confirms your candidate’s prior roles
Many employers need to confirm that a candidate’s job titles are the same as what they wrote on their resume—but this work can be time-consuming.
- Checkr AI scans employer data sources, rapidly verifying that job titles are a match with the candidate’s inputted titles.
- Role matcher can spot a wide range of job title fabrications and embellishments, while ignoring typos and unimportant discrepancies.
Doc inspector verifies that uploaded documents are authentic
Your verification process may call for a candidate to upload a diploma or a pay stub. And sometimes, unfortunately, these documents are falsified.
- Checkr AI scans candidates’ documents for irregularities that indicate a document has been forged or altered, giving you confidence as you welcome new hires.
- Doc inspector sees things a human eye can’t catch, such as faint traces where text in a PDF has been modified or distorted.
